Other members of the Anjuman that include Dr Sameer Sidiqi, Professor Tayab Kamili, Mufti Nazimudin Nadvi, Mufti Ghulam Rasool Samoon, Moulana M S Rehman Shams also condemned the US decision.

MMU termed Donald Trump’s decision as purely anti-Muslim and anti-Palestine stating that the move amounts to “stabbing the heart of every Muslims across the world.”

The MMU called for protests on Friday against Trump’s “unilateral” decision and stated that mass protest rallies will be organised in every masjid, shrine and imam baras of Kashmir against the decision “which amounts to trampling of rights of innocent people of Palestine on one hand and hurting the sentiments of Muslims across the globe.”

“A joint resolution condemning the Trump’s decision will be passed in all masjids, shrines and Imam Baras across Kashmir at the Friday congregational prayers,” the statement said.

“MMU believes that one-sided decision of Trump is the direct violation of UN charter which have been totally ignored by the US president. The Trump’s decision seems to be a direct outcome of the bonhomie between US and Israel and the move will be resisted by all the Muslims including those living in Jammu and Kashmir,” the statement added.
